Details

This book offers a critical examination of the ethical and moral challenges in conducting research about domestic abuse or sexual violence from the perspectives of student-practitioners and novice researchers within various professional disciplines, offering rich insights based on the experiences of each author.

Including the research expertise of academics in this field and importantly, the experiences of student-practitioners in conducting their research, the book explores practice-informed research and research-informed practice, in relation to the examination of a range of issues and themes related to DA and SV. All contributors consider the challenges and reflect on the salient issues related to their ethical research, and with some of the research conducted during the global pandemic of Covid-19, they also reflect on these additional challenges and how they sought to address them. The reader is invited to consider the different national and international, gendered, cultural and social contexts of DA and SV from early childhood to old age. With a constant thread of critical reflection they are encouraged to think about their own positionality to the unfolding discussions within each chapter, and how these may relate to their professional practice, their research and their professional values. Overall, the book sets out to: - articulate the dominant theoretical frameworks that have sought to offer explanations about domestic abuse and sexual violence within the research problems presented by the student-practitioners. - evaluates the significance of legislation and policy provision within the UK in service provision and interventions for victims and perpetrators - show cases best practice examples of research studies on domestic abuse and sexual violence based on the experiences of student-practitioners. - promotes a critical appraisal of the self and the positionality of the practitioner as researcher, through reflection on their personal and professional development. - reflects on the impact of the shadow pandemic on the experiences of vulnerable individuals and the challenges of conducting research ethically and safely.

This is essential reading for students either currently engaged in or with aspirations to work in professional practice in the DV/SV fields. please amend to DA and SV sectors. It is also useful for students on related graduate MA professional courses, practitioners in social work, health care, criminal justice, counselling, and particularly in the multi-faceted ‘women’s sector’. It will also appeal to final year students undertaking primary research in social work, health care, women’s studies, criminology.
